Chapter Summaries

Li Dabao awakened from the mental world with a greatly enhanced mind, but An Kai stripped away the reward to make him sink back into it so An Kai could return and exploit his Teacher. Meanwhile, Chris and Wayne searched for the missing An Kai and suspected the [Divine Court Ninth Layer] had pulled him inside.

• Li Dabao revived after experiencing hundreds of deaths in a strange mental world and discovered that his mind had become extraordinarily clear.
• An Kai recognized that Li Dabao's mental improvement came from scraps left by An Kai's aura, then removed the reward and made Li Dabao sink back into the mental world.
• An Kai waited for Li Dabao to return to the mental world, hoping to reach his Teacher again, while thinking of the people waiting for him at Goodness Home.
• Chris searched the Chaos Sea and Divine Realm, found scorched fissures near An Kai's last known location, and feared that a [Supreme God] had killed him.
• Wayne concluded that the [Divine Court Ninth Layer] might have pulled An Kai inside, while Nurnexius insisted that he would have died too if anything had happened to his boss.

Wayne concluded that An Kai had been taken into the [Divine Court Ninth Layer] and reassured Chris, who chose to enter seclusion and use her Luck Power to pray for him. Meanwhile, An Kai exploited Li Dabao’s repeated mental-world trials to gain spell upgrades as he sought a way to defeat the powerful “Teacher” and control the Ninth Layer before its natural arrival.

• Nurnexius convinced Wayne that An Kai was likely trapped in the [Divine Court Ninth Layer] rather than killed, and Wayne shared his conclusion with Chris.
• Chris used her Luck Power to seal off the Castle and entered seclusion to pray for An Kai, leaving Wayne responsible for Goodness Home.
• Wayne worried that An Kai might be gone for thousands of years and that he might not live long enough to see his return.
• An Kai entered Li Dabao’s mental world again after Li Dabao died 256 times, triggered the sky’s reaction, and earned another spell-level opportunity that raised [Fireball] to [Lv233].
• An Kai absorbed Li Dabao’s mental-world rewards, leaving Li Dabao’s intelligence dulled again, while “Teacher” wondered why his mental imprint had been triggered three times.

“Teacher” worried that the three [Supreme Gods] would find the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] after he had pulled it out of the Divine Realm, while the gods competed to track it down. An Kai waited for Li Dabao to trigger the mental imprint again and wondered how to keep him stupid so he would enter the Mental World faster.

• “Teacher” realized the mental imprint had been cleared and decided to retrieve it from Li Dabao during the challenge ten years later.
• The three [Supreme Gods] discovered the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] had torn an opening in the Divine Realm and began searching for it so they could seize control.
• The [God of Light] and the [God of Darkness] turned against each other and traded schemes while hunting for the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].
• The [God of Magic] continued searching for the center and investigating why his subordinate deities had died in the Divine Realm.
• An Kai waited for Li Dabao to enter the Mental World for the fourth time, but the rewards passing through Li Dabao had made him smarter.
• An Kai wondered how he could keep Li Dabao stupid forever so he would sink into the Mental World more quickly.

Over nearly ten years, An Kai used Li Dabao’s Mental World to raise all four spells to Lv240 and advanced to God King Eighth Layer while Teacher remained occupied evading the three Supreme Gods. With Challenge Day arriving tomorrow, both An Kai and Teacher prepared to confront each other, and An Kai’s latest Side Story revealed a large-scale search for something outside the Divine Realm.

• An Kai repeatedly entered Li Dabao’s Mental World to claim spell-level rewards, eventually raising all his spells to Lv240 as Li Dabao’s intelligence gradually increased.
• Teacher endured the loss of the Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center’s dwindling reserves while guarding against the three Supreme Gods and waited for Challenge Day to address the Mental Imprint.

• An Kai opened the latest Side Story and read that deities from First-Tier to ninth-rank were conducting a large-scale search outside the Divine Realm.

After learning that the three [Supreme Gods] were searching for [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center], An Kai realized that “Teacher” had been hiding it and still needed An Kai for his resurrection. On [Challenge Day], An Kai challenged “Teacher,” who reclaimed Li Dabao’s Mental Imprint and began their battle on the former [Divine Court] battlefield.

• An Kai read the new [Side Story] and concluded that the three [Supreme Gods] were searching for [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center], giving him leverage over “Teacher.”
• An Kai recognized that “Teacher” remained obsessed with resurrecting through the [Divine Court] and needed An Kai alive until the challenge.
• On [Challenge Day], “Teacher” withdrew his mental power, reclaimed the blood-red Mental Imprint from Li Dabao, and confronted An Kai.
• An Kai immediately declared that he challenged “Teacher,” frustrating his plan to force the challenge himself.
• “Teacher” transported them to the former [Divine Court] battlefield, merged with the sky, and declared, “Today, I shall live!” while Li Dabao wondered how he had returned there.

An Kai let “Teacher” attack without resistance so he could discover that the invisible strikes used the time spell element, then forced a draw by threatening to destroy the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center]. After “Teacher” withdrew, An Kai read the challenge’s system notification and declared that Teacher was a good guy.

• An Kai allowed “Teacher’s” invisible attacks to consume nearly all his protective doppelgängers while he studied how they worked.
• An Kai discovered that “Teacher’s” attacks contained the time spell element, though he could not figure out how to counter it.
• An Kai enveloped the arena in his aura and prepared to send it beyond the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center], threatening to make them die together.
• “Teacher” stopped An Kai’s near-apocalyptic punch and admitted defeat before vanishing.
• An Kai waited to ensure “Teacher” would not return, then read the system notification when the five-minute challenge ended and called Teacher a good guy.

An Kai gained the Fire Rule by raising [Fireball] to Lv241, then secluded himself to prepare for another fight with "Teacher." Meanwhile, the [God of Light] lost control of the Fire Rule and searched the Chaos Sea for its new wielder, while "Teacher" struggled to hide the resolution center; another [Challenge Day] approached.

• An Kai spent his reward for drawing with the Decider on [Fireball], advancing it to Lv241 and gaining command of the Fire Rule.
• An Kai altered Li Dabao’s memories and left him trapped in an illusion, then entered seclusion to seek a way to counter "Teacher"’s Time Spell Element attacks.
• The [God of Light] discovered that the Fire Rule had slipped from his control and sensed its new wielder somewhere in the Chaos Sea.
• The [God of Light] searched near [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and concluded that the rule’s new wielder was inside it, while "Teacher" focused on keeping the center concealed.
• An Kai’s cultivation period passed quickly, and the next [Challenge Day] drew near.

An Kai spent decades trying to understand how the Teacher used the time spell element, while both of them grew stronger and prepared for their ongoing struggle. After An Kai allocated his attributes and pushed all four into the range beginning with “6,” a breakthrough finally came.

• An Kai spent nearly ten years researching how to counter the Teacher’s time spell element, while the Teacher endured the strain of maintaining the conditions for their forced draws.
• On Challenge Day, An Kai challenged the Teacher and revealed that his four attributes had reached the God King ninth layer and his Divinity Ranking had risen to 154.
• The Teacher was stunned by An Kai’s rapid growth, then regained his fighting spirit after deciding he could kill and devour An Kai to claim his talent.
• The Teacher abandoned his five-minute break and focused on finding a way to kill An Kai, while the God of Light continued searching for the wielder of the fire rule without success.
• Over the next decades, An Kai upgraded Fireball, Meditation, Mage Armor, and Summoning, but made no progress understanding the Teacher’s use of the time spell element.
• After nearly forty years, An Kai allocated his attributes until all four entered the range beginning with “6,” and a breakthrough came.

An Kai's attributes reached 600,000 but became locked until he mastered the time spell element, so he studied [Summoning] and discovered it could reach into the past. With his spells at Level 250, he could finally see "Teacher's" attacks and planned to strike before the next Challenge Day.

• An Kai's four attributes reached 600,000, advancing [Godmaster] and [Divine Body] to Lv7 but imposing a time-element mastery shackle.
• An Kai used [Meditation: Mental Imprint] to extend his defenses and abilities across marked locations, making him confident that "Teacher's" attacks could no longer harm him.
• An Kai discovered that [Summoning] could call the true spirits of beings he had encountered as far back as a thousand years, revealing the time spell element within the spell.
• An Kai devoted himself to studying [Summoning] and raised all four spells to Level 250, though he remained one step from mastering the time spell element.
• An Kai learned to see "Teacher's" attacks and decided to strike and leave the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] before the next Challenge Day, one year away.

After four hundred years trapped in the Divine Court Ninth Layer, An Kai used [Challenge Day] to confront his "Teacher" and discovered that the attacks he could not detect came from the future. He learned to evade them and gained the upper hand, while his "Teacher" prepared to use one last trump card.

• An Kai studied the Time Spell Element and learned through the [Side Story] that Wayne was nearing the end of his lifespan while keeping Goodness Home running.
• An Kai chose to challenge his "Teacher" and attacked first, using [Fireball: Fire Rule] to restrict his opponent's use of fire spells.
• An Kai realized his "Teacher" drew spells from the future using the Time Spell Element and relied on the Divine Court Ninth Layer's power to do so.
• An Kai gradually learned to dodge the future spells, then overwhelmed his "Teacher" and revealed that he had seen through the attack method.
• An Kai's "Teacher" understood why he was losing but refused to accept defeat and recalled an unwillingly held-back trump card.

An Kai used “Teacher’s” fear of death to survive their confrontation and earned a spell upgrade, then spent four hundred years strengthening himself. He planned to kill “Teacher” in their next [Challenge Day], while the [God of Light] still could not find a way into the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].

• “Teacher” threatened to release his aura and attract the [God of Light], forcing An Kai to stop his attack.
• “Teacher” showed An Kai an image of the [God of Light], and An Kai attacked cautiously until [Challenge Day] ended without killing him.
• An Kai earned an opportunity to upgrade [Meditation] to [Lv251] and resumed studying the “time spell element.”
• Over the next four hundred years, An Kai repeatedly injured “Teacher” on [Challenge Day] and raised all four spells to [Lv260].
• An Kai resolved to kill “Teacher” in the next [Challenge Day], while the [God of Light] continued searching unsuccessfully for the Divine Court Resolution Center.

An Kai killed the apparent Teacher during Challenge Day, but discovered that he had slain only a true-spirit doppelganger and inherited the role of Decider. As the God of Light entered the Divine Court Ninth Layer, An Kai realized he could now see everything clearly and had a path to master the time spell element.

• An Kai prepared to kill Teacher and selected “Challenge!” when Challenge Day opened.
• An Kai asked Teacher his name, then overwhelmed and killed him before he could answer.
• An Kai found a Time Spell Element Crystal where Teacher had died, but could not summon his true spirit.
• Teacher’s voice revealed he had been a true-spirit doppelganger and warned An Kai to face the God of Light.
• An Kai became the Decider and learned that mastering the time spell element would let him control the Divine Court Ninth Layer and leave.
• The God of Light tore through the barrier and entered the Divine Court Ninth Layer as An Kai watched.

The God of Light infiltrated the Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center and confronted An Kai, intending to kill him before the other Supreme Gods discovered his absence. An Kai attacked with his newly awakened spell rules while secretly studying the Time Spell Element Crystal, and the God of Light prepared to unleash his light.

• The God of Light concealed the Ninth Layer’s aura, forced his way inside, and identified An Kai as his old acquaintance and target.
• An Kai assessed his new spell abilities: Fireball’s Will of Fire, Meditation’s Mind Rule, Mage Armor’s Guard Rule, and Summoning’s Forced True Spirit Summoning.
• An Kai launched his rule-based attacks against the God of Light, but the Supreme God remained unaffected and An Kai’s forced summons failed.
• An Kai repeatedly attacked while studying the Time Spell Element Crystal, hoping to strengthen himself enough to face the God of Light.
• The God of Light recognized that An Kai might have become the fourth Supreme God and declared that he would make An Kai feel the light.

An Kai surpassed Teacher’s former mastery of the time spell element and used a Time Cage to imprison the God of Light. He then enclosed the Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center in another Time Cage to buy time to master the element, leaving his survival and plans dependent on how much time he could gain.

• The God of Light erased An Kai’s rules and steadily wore down his reserves while An Kai focused on comprehending the time spell element.
• As the rule of light reached him, An Kai surpassed Teacher’s former mastery and unleashed his new technique, Time Cage, on the God of Light.
• The Time Cage confined the God of Light with his own future power, forcing him to defend himself against An Kai’s rules.
• An Kai used another Time Cage to hide the Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center from the other two Supreme Gods, though he knew the concealment would not last.
• An Kai chose to risk his life to keep studying the time spell element rather than spend all his effort hiding the center.

An Kai studied the [Time Spell Element Crystal] while the [God of Light] remained trapped in the [Time Cage], and memories of the [God of Magic]'s rise to [Supreme God] revealed the history of the divinities. An Kai mastered the time spell element, transforming the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and his four attributes.

• An Kai abandoned his efforts to conceal the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and focused on mastering the time spell element before the other [Supreme Gods] found it.
• The [God of Light] observed that the [Time Cage] had isolated him from the present, leaving him unseen and untouched by Li Dabao and the rest of the Divine Court.
• The [God of Light]'s memories showed An Kai how the [God of Magic] had imposed a hierarchy on the divinities, slaughtered divine descendants, and risen to become the third [Supreme God].
• An Kai finished studying the [Time Spell Element Crystal] and mastered the time spell element, causing major changes to the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and his four attributes.

An Kai entered the Divine Realm’s god-sealing process, gained control of the Divine Court Resolution Center, and learned that the Divine Realm expected him to help it devour a thousand Insect Realms. He ignored its intended path to Supreme Godhood and began testing an enhanced Time Cage on the God of Light.

• An Kai began god-sealing, and the God of Light realized that his usual methods could no longer kill An Kai before the process ended.
• An Kai rewarded Li Dabao for loudly praising him, and Li Dabao’s cheering further irritated the God of Light.
• An Kai took control of the Divine Court Resolution Center but remained trapped there while the God of Light was still present.
• The Divine Realm revealed that An Kai needed to help it devour a thousand Insect Realms to complete god-sealing, but An Kai planned to become a Supreme God by enslaving or killing the other Supreme Gods and divinities.
• An Kai experimented with an enhanced Time Cage, and the God of Light saw the scene before him change.

An Kai mastered the time spell element, trapped the [God of Light] in his evolved [Time Cage], and completed godhood ascension while uncovering a possible link between the [God of Magic] and Teacher. He concealed the restored [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center], gained 20 god attribute points, and used them to strengthen his attributes.

• An Kai used his mastery of the time spell element to evolve [Time Cage], summoning future versions of the [God of Light] to attack him and leaving him unable to threaten An Kai.
• An Kai absorbed the mist concealing the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and watched the [God of Magic] ascend, noticing a phantom that he suspected became the [Divine Court God of Magic].
• The godhood ascension scene vanished, An Kai's four attributes broke free of their shackles, and the restored Divine Court released its dormant true spirits, whose emotions overwhelmed Li Dabao.
• An Kai concealed himself and the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] with [Supreme God] concealment, then received 20 god attribute points.
• An Kai distributed the 20 god attribute points evenly across his four attributes, increasing his strength and releasing an immense aura.

An Kai unlocked his four God Attributes and grew powerful enough to recognize the path he must take to challenge the three Supreme Gods, beginning with the God of Light. As he settled in for a long period of cultivation and sought ways to strengthen his spells and rules, the God of Light struggled to escape his Time Cage, while the God of Magic and God of Darkness searched anxiously for the newly emerging fourth Supreme God.

• Li Dabao snapped out of his grief as An Kai’s aura drove away the Holy Spirit True Spirits and frightened the God of Light inside the Time Cage.
• An Kai’s four attributes became God Attributes and rose to 80.6, placing him in the God Venerable, First Stage, “Light” realm and far beyond the God of Light’s strength at God-Sealing.
• An Kai realized that Supreme Gods suppressed opponents by controlling whether they could use their attributes, and he mapped out his progression from God Venerable, “Light,” through “Darkness” and “Magic” to his own “An” realm.
• An Kai recognized that he needed to strengthen his rules and spells to fight the Supreme Gods, but the system offered no further spell-upgrade requirements and he knew no method for improving rules.
• After a month of accumulation, An Kai found that each God Attribute had increased by only 0.1, so he planned to cultivate patiently, investigate spell advancement, and eventually defeat the God of Light and God of Magic.
• The God of Light attacked frantically from inside the Time Cage, while the God of Darkness and God of Magic searched for the fourth Supreme God and focused their attention on the Divine Court Ninth Layer.

An Kai waited a century before killing the [God of Light], while the [God of Magic] searched for the hidden [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center] and hoped to stop An Kai’s ascension. The [God of Light’s] death shook the Divine Realm, and the [God of Magic] realized that a [Supreme God] had fallen.

• The [God of Magic] panicked when he realized An Kai had accepted "God-Sealing," then ordered the sleeping divinities to search for the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].
• After nearly a century of searching, the [God of Magic] found the [God of Light’s] concealment measures but could not locate the hidden Divine Court layer.
• An Kai waited out the century, during which his god attributes rose only slightly, while the [God of Light] lost his will to resist inside the [Time Cage].
• An Kai attacked and beat the [God of Light] to death, stunned by how weak a [Supreme God] seemed.
• The [God of Light’s] death sent a mournful wail across the Divine Realm, causing its inhabitants and the searching divinities, including both [Supreme Gods], to shed tears.
• The [God of Magic] recovered from his shock and declared that the [God of Light] had fallen.

After the [God of Light] died, the [God of Darkness] hid while the [God of Magic] disappeared, leaving the deities without leadership as the Divine Realm mourned. In Goodness Home, Chris concluded that An Kai had killed the [God of Light], rallied the inhabitants to defend the Chaos Sea, and learned that the [God of Magic] had found the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].

• The [God of Darkness] failed to find the [God of Magic] and chose to reinforce his Seclusion Site and wait in hiding.
• The deities in the [Chaos Space] could find neither the [God of Darkness] nor the [God of Magic], so they continued searching for the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].
• Divine Realm-wide mourning unleashed blood rain and disasters on the Chaos Sea, where the [Meditation Ring] blocked the calamities.
• Chris emerged in Goodness Home and stopped the [Goodness Home Mage Association] from charging out to fight.
• Light-Taker described seeing the [God of Light] engulfed in flames and reported gaining control over light and sensing the 'Light Rule'; Chris declared that An Kai had killed the [God of Light].
• An Kai learned that Chris had promised to await his return and that the [God of Magic] had discovered the [Divine Court Ninth Layer: Divine Court Resolution Center].
